 I know, me and my cats, right??? One of the new little stray cats around my yard that is a hair away from being tamed...

Processing in CS5:
- Crop
- Color Efex Pro Tonal Contrast Filter
- SEP2 neutral with adjustments in contrast, brightness and structure
- Add control points on pale wood to darken a bit
- Dodge set to highlights to brighten whiskers, white spot and eyes
- set SEP2 layer opacity to 80%
- create new layer of all below with keyboard shortcut ctrl+alt+shift+e (very useful shortcut for the way I process with blended layers)
- resize

Nice, I love the way the cat stands out in the clutter. And that eye!

I love that you took down the opacity and a tiny hint of green is showing in the cats eye. Great work.

Beautiful! The eye is so luminous it seems to be glowing from within.
